August 17, overcast.
The muggy weather shrouded the whole imperial city. Even the old dogs on the street were powerless and rolled their heads under the tree. Only the people running on the road are not afraid of everything and are still sweating and busy.
The bartenders outside the restaurants on both sides of junhou street always ran out to look around. Almost everyone wondered why it was almost midnight today. Why didn't the adults come out after the great court meeting? At ordinary times, after every big morning meeting, those adults would have a few drinks in twos and threes in the street looking for a restaurant. At this time, each restaurant will prepare some exquisite dishes in advance for the adults.
Why haven't you seen the Palace door open today?
The waiter of the restaurant just muttered that the exquisite dishes prepared in advance in the back kitchen could not be sold. What really bothers them is the group of adults they miss.
The people's palace was full of people, and everyone looked serious, both military and civil servants.
When Zuo Yuliang's urgent report requesting the emperor to open a military talisman was sung and reported into the hall at the great court meeting in the form of red plume urgent report, he was stunned by most of the unsuspecting ministers in the hall.
Really fighting?!
Many people in the military position also heard the news, so they were very excited. They blushed and knelt down to ask for war. Some people were willing to give up their current fat jobs and titles, and only wanted to go to the front line of the southern army. They said that even if they were only a senior, they could swing a knife and go to the battlefield.
And I also understand that the emperor needs to make a decision on the spot when the red plume is reported urgently at the current imperial meeting. If the emperor agrees to open the talisman, he will give Zuo Yuliang full power. At that time, the southern army will fight with all its strength and will never stop until the victory is determined.
On the contrary, if the emperor refuses Zuo Yuliang's request, it means that the strategy behind the national Dynasty is to shrink and defend, and will not attack the barbarians. At least the troops currently deployed in the barbarian region will be quickly recovered. The so-called "peace talks" may even follow.
Therefore, the response of the military staff is so fierce. They can endure being suppressed everywhere by the civil servants before, and they can also tolerate the indirect control of the military department by the emperor, but they absolutely can't agree to choose the strategy of external weakness under the condition of overall advantage. This is the shame of every military staff.
People in the military were excited, and civil servants jumped high as if they were trampling on their feet.
The civil servants led by Ye Lansheng, the prime minister, were very talkative. They described Zuo Yuliang's request as a flood and a beast. It was inappropriate to say that as long as the emperor agreed to Zuo Yuliang's request for a military talisman, the old Jing dynasty would die out within three years. The audience was horrified.
The emperor sitting at the head of the hall has been like a statue without speaking. After a long quarrel between the people on both sides, he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Bai Changqing, I remember the balance of the Ministry of household in the last quarter. The official warehouses everywhere are also 90% full, and the grain depots of the army have just replaced a batch of old grain. It can be regarded as a full warehouse?"
To fight a war, the Ministry of household is a part of the strength. The amount of money, grain and material reserves in hand can determine the direction of a large-scale war. So the Emperor didn't make a direct statement, but he asked directly about the core.
Bai Changqing had long known that as the Minister of household, he could not avoid this kind of thing. Now he came out of class and bowed down to answer: "Your Majesty, after the summary of the documents of the Ministry of household last quarter, there are indeed plenty of warehouses around the country, and the materials have reached about 90% of the normal reserves of the country and the dynasty. However, although the National Treasury is abundant, once the war breaks out, it will damage all the projects being built by the country and the canals, official roads, reservoirs, etc. will be forced to stop, and the early expenses will be wasted..."
Bai Changqing's words are very simple. To sum up, although the Treasury is abundant, it is not enough to be swallowed up by the monster of war. Moreover, once it is fought, it will have an incalculable impact on all aspects of the country, even damage.
These are not Bai Changqing's random words, but facts. War will not only kill people, but also hurt the foundation of the country and the dynasty.
Generally speaking, "harmony is precious" is the universal value.
However, the emperor obviously had his own plan. After waving his hand to Bai Changqing to get up and go back to the column, Wen Mingju, the left attendant of the Ministry of military, asked the current speaker of the Ministry of military: "how feasible is the comprehensive military strategy for the south that the Ministry of military had been doing earlier? How long will it take to fight at the worst?"
Wen Mingju was the first person to get the news. One night, he prepared as much as possible. When he heard the speech, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, for the strategy of using troops in the south, the military department has been planning continuously since ten years ago. After dozens of different adjustments, the last is the current standing strategy. According to recent estimates, if there is a full-scale war, the probability of the country and the DPRK winning is more than 80%, and it will take more time at the worst, but the main war will never last more than two years."
"Basis."
"Your Majesty, this is what the Ministry of war summed up based on the comparison of the war losses of the previous dynasties in the barbarian wars. It is also the main reason for the implementation of the population plundering strategy for 40 years. If today's barbarians still have the war losses like before, they will not last for two years. This is still predicted based on the worst plan. In fact, it should not be so long."
Although they have been suppressed by civilian groups for many years, and there are bad insects in the military headquarters, what they should do is still not abandoned. At least in terms of the strategy Wen Mingju has obtained, they really count the barbarians as dead in recent decades. With the most simple algorithm, even if the speed and number of dead people fight on both sides, they can basically count the barbarians as dead.
Of course, the previous case of the Ministry of war is not appropriate. On this occasion, it can be regarded as a continuation of the barbarians. However, no matter how, it still can not change the fact that the population has been plundered for 40 years. The strength of the barbarians is definitely lower than that in the last World War, while the Jingjiu Dynasty has developed steadily for 40 years, not to mention the rapid progress, at least it is becoming stronger and stronger. The gap between one in and one out is not a speck.
"I'm not an immediate emperor, but I also won many strong enemies with the country and the dynasty, including Nanman. If I can win once, I can win the second time. Don't always speculate about everything with" goodness ". Nanman and we are not simple feuds. It's not that no one has tried to talk about peace for thousands of years. In the end, we have to look at the swords in their hands.
There will be sacrifices in war, whether the dead or the stagnation of domestic projects, are controllable and affordable. If the barbarians are allowed to grow wantonly, the situation will become uncontrollable at that time, which is the biggest hidden danger! "
The emperor's voice was not loud, but it sounded in everyone's ears like a breathtaking roar in the Wanmin palace.
At this time, everyone knew that this was the emperor's statement, and it sounded like the main battle.
"I don't care what barriers or differences there are between you, but I'll put them away from today. The war is coming. If we can't agree with each other, it will drag the country and the dynasty behind. It's like a capitalist enemy, and we will be dealt with strictly according to the law. Do you understand?"
